      • Blood from the heart is pumped throughout the body using blood vessels. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and into capillaries, providing oxygen (and other nutrients) to tissue and cells. Once oxygen is removed, the blood travels back to the lungs, where it is reoxygenated and returned by veins to the heart.

  1. Blood flows through your heart, lungs and body in a series of steps. After delivering oxygen and nutrients to all your organs and tissues, your blood enters your heart and flows to your lungs to gain oxygen and get rid of waste.

  2. Jul 16, 2024 · Blood flow through the heart involves contractions of the heart muscle to move blood from the right chambers of the heart to the lungs —where it receives oxygen—and then to the left chambers of the heart where it is pumped to the rest of the body through a network of blood vessels.

  3. Apr 13, 2024 · It involves the movement of deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and then returning oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart. Pathway: Blood flows from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. In the lungs, blood releases carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen.

  4. Sep 4, 2024 · Your blood vessels work with your heart and lungs to continuously move blood through your body. Here’s how: Your heart’s right ventricle sends blood that’s low in oxygen (oxygen-poor blood) to your lungs. Blood travels through the pulmonary trunk (the main pulmonary artery). Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs.

  5. There, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is a cellular waste material. Carbon dioxide exits the cells, enters the bloodstream, travels back to the lungs, and is expired out of the body during exhalation. Breathing is both a voluntary and an involuntary event.

  6. Nov 3, 2024 · 1. Blood Enters the Right Atrium. The journey of blood flow through the heart begins as deoxygenated blood, rich in carbon dioxide, enters the right atrium. This blood arrives from the upper part of the body via the superior vena cava and from the lower part of the body via the inferior vena cava. 2.

  7. Sep 9, 2023 · As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then returns to...
